No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Did you get your EX and TU through myFICO or annualcreditreport.com or the CRAs?
As for the SW alerts, it has to do with the way SW does things but I know you are not being reported twice.
I would just contact EQ and ask them about the account. Sometimes 3rd party reports can be wrong.
From everything I have read about SW they update scores in 7-10 days.
